Ubiquitous Use in Paints,
Rubber, Plastics & Adhesives Sustains Growth in the Global Acrylic Resins Market,
According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers,
market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Acrylic Resins market. The global market for Acrylic
Resins is projected to reach 23.2 billion pounds by 2022, driven by the industrial
and commercial importance of thermosetting polymers in a wide range of
applications covering synthetic rubbers, textiles, paints, adhesives, plastics,
strippable varnishes, among numerous others.
Acrylic
resins represent a set of thermoplastics that are manufactured by the
polymerization of acrylates or methacrylates. Acrylic acid, which is in turn
produced from propylene, is the major raw material for producing acrylic
resins. Acrylic resins offer superlative chemical characteristics, distinct
aesthetic properties and impact- and high-heat-resistance, making it an ideal
material for use in variety of applications. Major end-use application sectors
include paints & coatings, construction and adhesives among others. Given
that growth is influenced by the business climate in downstream applications, the
market is poised to benefit from the growing construction sector; steady automobile
production; rising demand for lightweight plastics; need for impact resistant,
high strength, quick drying adhesives; widespread use of synthetic polymers in
textile processing; among others. The industry is also making considerable
strides on the technology front with the immense success of bio acrylic resins
or eco-friendly resins. Developments in this space are being encouraged by the
focus on sustainability. Though the development of 100% bio-based material is
yet to materialize, polymethyl methacrylate
(PMMA)
materials are being blended with bio-based materials to facilitate a reduction
in the carbon footprint of polymers. Green products will therefore score the
highest gains in the market. Also, stringent VOC regulations and enhancement of
green certification criteria are compelling production of green alternatives. Increased
demand for superior performing and cost-effective products are fueling demand
for new generation resins with improved functional and aesthetic
characteristics.
As
stated by the new market research report on Acrylic Resins, Asia-Pacific represents
the largest market worldwide supported by stable business growth in
well-established end-use markets such as paints & coatings, construction,
and automotive. China represents the largest market in the region led by rapid
industrialization and massive manufacturing prowess built over a period of two
decades. Future growth in the market will be powered by Middle East and Africa with
a combined CAGR of 6% over the analysis period. As the largest product segment Methyl methacrylate (MMA) finds primary use in construction
and automotive sectors and in the production of PMMA and modified polymers.
Signs and display constitute the largest end-use markets for PMMA, owing to the
recent expansion of novel PMMA applications in the field of signage, display
screens and panels, and TFT-LCDs.
